THE WEB FILTER MANAGER
Monitored Data
MONITORED DATA
Monitored data is where you see who has been using the internet, the sites they have visited, and the categories those sites have been assigned to in the SurfControl Internet Threat Database.
DATA
The central pane consists of 3 tabs for Monitored Data:
•Users - Those employees detected by Web Filter.
•Destinations - Where those employees have been visiting on the Internet.
•Categories - Destinations visited are categorized, either by the standard categories as supplied by the SurfControl Internet Threat Database, or any custom or manual categories you may create.
How Data is sorted in the Web Filter Manager
In the three Monitored Data tabs, the default view is restricted to the first 5000 entries in the summary panels. If you have less than 5000 entries, these will be automatically sorted on the first column in the row (User, Destination or Category), showing the latest entry at the top.
If you have more than 5000 entries (you will see a caution if you exceed this limit), the first 5000 entries are shown based on the Last Access information. To change the default number of rows:
1Close the SurfControl Web Filter Manager application.
2Locate the file SurfControl.Application.exe.config.
In a default installation this is located in C:\Program Files\SurfControl\Web Filter.
3Open SurfControl.Application.exe.config with Notepad.
4Locate the line: <add key="SurfControl.Plugins.WF.Monitor.DataSetFillCount" value="5000"/>
5Change the value="5000" setting to the required value.
6Save the SurfControl.Application.exe.config file.
7Open the SurfControl Web Filter Manager application.
Note: Increasing the number of rows may have a significant impact on the performance of the Web Filter server.
